Imagine a hands-on workshop where you not only learn the art of architectural sketching but also discover how this creative process can empower you to reshape and revitalize public spaces in our city!
Baltimore SketchWorks will conduct an engaging hands-on workshop, uniting the practical skills of architectural sketching with the principles of placemaking. Our aim is to empower individuals to actively reshape and celebrate public spaces in Baltimore City.
In this workshop, the group will define and explore placemaking principles and examine the role of architectural sketching in the process. Participants will learn some practical architectural sketching techniques such as hands-on guidance on basic sketching techniques and how to use sketching to observe and understand the physical, cultural, and social identities of a place. The group will also discuss community engagement through sketching by displaying strategies for involving community members in the sketching process, and building connections and fostering relationships through shared creative activities.
Baltimore SketchWorks' Mission: Drawing is a powerful tool for revealing unnoticed aspects of a place, Baltimore SketchWorks encourages participants to uncover nuances, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the built environment. The collective pursuit of drawing serves as a catalyst for building community, enriching placemaking efforts, and creating inclusive spaces.
